Re: premature ejaculation

Hi Rob, Thanks for your e-mail. Viagra will not help with the premature ejaculation.

Re: broken foot- pain

Sorry to hear about your foot. I would be expected that you experience some pain for several days after breaking a bone in your foot. Can I ask if the pain is getting less each day? If the pain is not lessening each day, or it is in fact getting worse, I would recommend that you see a Doctor as soon...

Re: How can I alleviate my cough?

Hi Rosemary, It sounds to me like you are taking lots of sensible steps already to alleviate your cough. The key to relieving a cough is keeping your airways moist and also keeping any mucus produced as "thin" or as "liquid" as possible. So the steps you have already taken will h...

Re: HRT

Thanks for your question. It is not normally recommended to delay a period when taking Elleste-Duet. Elleste-Duet is cyclical HRT medication (where progestogen is taken for 12 to 14 days of each 28-day cycle) and ladies who take it usually have a regular bleed towards the end of the 28-day cycle of ...

Re: Does the drug I'm taking lead to vitamin B12 depletion?

Hi John, Thanks for posting such an interesting question; hopefully I will be able to decide the bragging rights between the two Doctors you spoke to.
